Coach Todd Sousa will be arraigned Friday in Newport Beach on 13-counts of lewd acts upon a child!

If this guy is guilty, he deserves a severe sentence. I hope the alleged victim can get through her teen years safely and constructively. As for the friend who confided in her parents that this occurred; (if indeed this event did occur), know that you did a huge favor to your community and swimming at large! Never feel any regret whatsoever. You rock!

From the Laguna Nigel patch:

"... On Feb. 18, Sousa is accused of picking up Jane Doe and her friend from the Irvine Spectrum and driving them to the Swim Ventures office. He is accused of providing alcohol to the young women before taking Jane Doe into another room to have sex with her while her friend waited outside.

Jane Doe's parents learned of Sousa's alleged sexual relationship with their daughter from the parents of one of her friends and contacted law enforcement, authorities said.

Anyone with additional information or who believes they have been a victim is asked to call investigator Lou Gutierrez at (714) 347-8794. ..."
